5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Summary of Mozart Studies, September 25, 2004
By 
This review is from: The Cambridge Companion to Mozart (Cambridge Companions to Music) (Paperback)
This excellent collection of 17 essays by the leading contemporary (as of 2003) American and British Mozart scholars covers four major aspects of his life and work: The historical context, the works, reception, and performance. This is not a detailed analysis of the works themselves. Rather, it summarizes currently scholarly thinking and reviews the main trends in Mozart studies, with brief comments on major works, a bibilography, and extensive footnotes with citations pointing toward further study and research. Highly recommended as a supplement to other standard works. Especially fascintating is the discussion of the role of the movie "Amadeus" in stimulating interest in him.
